Three Books Contributing to My writingFinn Family Moomintrollby Tove JanssonI read this with delight and wonder when I was ten; I loved the wonderfuldrawings, the Moomins' life with their nice food and strange adventures but,most importantly, I loved it because it was the first time I experienced thestrong sense of how a story develops. While that story was clearly made up, Iremember feeling that it didn't matter because it felt so true and was fullyconvincing.The New American Poetry 1945-1960edited by Donald AllenWhen I was in the sixth grade in North Wales, the mobile library appearedand, my God, this important and valuable collection with its excellentlanguage interested me. The line in Ginsberg's poem, Sunflower Sutra--"itwas my first sunflower, memories of Blake"----led me to discover WilliamBlake, who's been my guiding star ever sinceGiordano Bruno and the hermetic Traditiona by Frances YatesI picked this up during my final term at Oxford. The book had completelynothing to do with my course but it had a huge influence (影响)on me,introducing me to the world of Renaissance(文艺复兴) magic and otherbooks by Yates on art history. It's from my reading that I have developed myway of writing novels.21. How does the writer introduce the three books?A. By giving details of their contents.B. By telling stories about their creation.C. By describing their influence on himself.D. By making a comparison between each other.22. The writer of the passage is probably a_________.A. reporterB. poetC. MagicianD. novelistBUsing pictures from an orbiting spaceship, scientists have discovered eight spots Withhuge ice deposits (冰沉积物) near the Martian surface at the middle latitudes (纬度),which is apossible source (来源) of water that could help support future human lives.While scientists already knew that about one-third of the surface of Mars containsskin-deep ground ice and that its poles (极地) hold major ice deposits, the research published onThursday described thick underground ice sheets in an unexpected area.“It was surprising to find ice exposed at the surface at these places. In the mid-latitudes, it'snormally covered by a blanket of dust," said research scientist Colin Dundas, who led the study.The findings showed that ice may be more available for use as water to support future human explorations, perhaps even the setup of a lasting Mars base. The water could be used for drinking and possibly change into oxygen (Oz) to breathe.“Humans need Water wherever they go, and it's very heavy to ca rry with you. Former ideas for getting human-usable water from Mars were to pull it from the very dry atmosphere or to break down Water-containing rocks," said scientist Shane Byme, a co-author of the study in the journal Science."Here we have what we think is almost pure water ice buried just below the surface, Byme added, which means you don't need a high-tech solution.“You can go out with a large container and just collect as much water as you need. I think it's kind of a game-changer. It's also much closer to places humans would probably land, compared with the polar areas which are very unfriendly.'23. What is Special about the newly found ice deposits on Mars?)A. Thy are the first ice deposits.B. They are the largest ice deposits.C. They are found on unexpected areas.D. They are the only source of drinking water.24. Which is not a possible way of getting water on Mars?A. Changing oxygen into water.B. Pulling water from the atmosphere.C. Collecting water from ice deposits.D. Breaking down water-containing rocks.25. Why does B yme think the new finding is a“game-changer" in the last paragraph?A. It changes the way people play games on Mars.B. It makes it possible for humans to land on Mars.C. It makes it easier for humans to get water on Mars.D. It changes people's understanding of the polar areas.26. What is the best title for the passage?A. A new way to get waterB. A lasting Mars base is set upC. Humans cannot survive without water on MarsD. The Martian ice deposits could support humansCBrooke wanted a dollhouse. And some sugar cookies. So, the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or servant. It was a voice-controlled home assistant powered by AI (人工智能) . Alexa comes with a special device (装置) . And it made Broeke's wishes come true.A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dolhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. (They ate the cookies and donated the dollhouse to a local hospital,) And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI that can order up treats for you. Apple HomePod has Sin, Google Home has its Asistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, voice shopping is rare. People who do it mainly order simple things like paper towels. But many experts expect an increase in voice shopping in the near future.Convenience (便利) is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you're cooking, cleaning, or driving-In addition, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without help.But voice shopping has its downsides. Unwanted dolhouses aren't the biggest problem. Its usually very easy to cancel an order Or return items. The most fearful thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to act when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa”or “Ok Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversion. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? Should police turn to them to solve a crime? And what if someone hacks (非法入侵) the device ?The CIA found a way to hack Smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?27. From the passage, we can lean that Alexa is_______.A. a friend of BrookeB. the device in a local hospitalC doll in the dollhouseD. a home assistant powered by AI28. What can we know about voice shopping from the passage?A. It's has not been used yetB. It's widely used now.C. It's expected to be popular.D. It will disappear in the future.29. The underlined word“downsides" in Paragraph 4 most probably means_____.A.problemsB. mysteriesC. effectsD. failures30. From Paragraphs 3 and 4, we can know that_____.A. people tend to cancel orders or return itemsB. companies are allowed to collect shopping habitsC. voice shopping has its advantages and disadvantagesD. it is always good for AI assistants to listen all the timeDWhen we were growing up, there were plenty of adults family members as well as neighbors--- who took a hand in setting rules for children. Their massage "Mind your manners" and“Mind who you are" ---was a call for young people to treat themselves and others with respect. Families and children grow well with these connections.But over the years, the connections that support young people have broken under the pressures of modem life. In too many places, children are caught in a web of troubles that would be difficult for any of us to get away from. Some children do successfully deal with these problems through hard work. character, and belief. But it should not require these qualities to be a child. Our children deserve better. They deserve a life with their dreams realized. It is high time we did something to rebuild the connections.We are not child-development experts, but we have learned some lessons about success Over the years. Advances in knowledge haven't changed the basic needs of young people. Influencing them depends on some very basic trainings that allow adults to enter and affect their lives.To serve young people, it is necessary to really listen. Shaking the hand of a young man orwoman. Looking him or her in the eyes, asking the time to connect ----all these things mean care and resect. Especially if a child is hurt, a connection may take time. All of these always begin with listening.To influence young people, long term devotion is needed. Much dissatisfaction and doubt toward the adult world comes from broken promises of attention and care, especially when family arrangements are changeable. Many children are effectively asking adults: Will you be back tomorrow? And the day after? will you have my back over time? Children are not reached by a one-time flash of connection; they are influenced by the long-term glow of devotion.____________Children have a way of knowing when adults have given up on them. They test our faith (信任) in them in various ways. Educators have told us that most children arrive in kindergarten (幼儿园) smiling and hungry for leaning. But many don't have basic skills and feel dismissed and discouraged. By the third grade, one educator told us,“The light can go out of their eyes." Children will not believe in themselves if we don't believe in them. And it is unacceptable to watch any of them lose faith in the future before their lives have really begun.Helping children become healthy, honest, skilled adults will decide the future of our nation. Raising children prepared for lives of achievement, self-respect, and contribution is our most important task. We can make a difference, one caring adult and one child at a time.31.
